As we have mentioned before, my good friend Patty Bonds has told the story of her sexual abuse as a girl. It is a horrible thing for a father to sexually abuse his daugher year after year.

Patty has told her story on EWTN’s Journey Home (Conversion Story and Story of Abuse) and has been unfolding the story on her blog over the last year. She is now reaching the heart of her story of recovering and healing through forgiveness. You can read her journals entitled “Out of the Darkness” on her website http://abbaslittlegirl.blogspot.com.

If you know of anyone who has gone through similar abuse Patty is willing to help. She wants to start a ministy of forgiveness and recovery for children of sexual abuse. You can contact her through her website.
